A rubber duck museum based in Point Roberts, U.S.A., is set to move to B.C.’s Tsawwassen Mills mall next month as owners say business has become unsustainable due to increasing tariffs and decreasing tourism.

The new location will only be about a 15-minute drive away from the current space — not even six kilometres as the crow flies — but an international border will separate the two.

Point Roberts, an American exclave of just over 1,000 people, is connected by land to Canada but is separated from the rest of the U.S. by water.

When the Rubber Duck Museum opened about 1½ years ago in the Point Roberts gift shop owned by Americans Neil and Krystal King, the couple said the shop had lines going out the door.

The Rubber Duck Museum features an assortment of rubber ducks from decades past.
